hey, you know, i'm really liking this.
today i went out and saw chicago with my parents. it's a really good movie - better than the live performance, because everything's a lot clearer, but there were also a few things missing that disappointed me a little. that's okay though, it was still really good. i loved it, though i know my parents didn't like it too much. phooey on them.
went bowling with michael and his family, too. like, extended family. aunts, uncles, cousins, everything. and you know? it wasn't too bad. we bowled, we goofed around, it wasn't embarassing or nerve-wracking or anything like that. it was just... fun. michael's got some really cool relatives, whether he realizes it or not. i honest-to-god had a great time with him tonight, and it really sucked that it ended so soon.
however, i didn't get much of a chance to think about it. josh was havin a lot of people over, so i took off a few minutes after getting home and went to his house. it was pretty much all who i expected - josh, evan, aaron, derek, steph mo, julie, leandra, me (allison and brittany left right when i got there). we talked, listened to music, evan 'n i munched on our own bags of doritos. it was just.. calm, relaxing, and really nice to be there.
of course, they'd all watched the ring, so they got to talking about it right before i had to leave. it freaked me out. i kept having flashbacks to when i saw it in the theater. now, the theater is SO much worse than tv, so it was really -really- creepy for me. and, unlike them, i can't drive, and didn't have a ride. so aaron, being the nicest person ever to walk the face of this earth, offered to drive next to me while i walked home (since, after all, he is a law-abiding citizen and doesn't drive other people in his car). i love him so much for it.
so, basically, i have had more than just a good day. i have had an excellent, super, fantastic day that really couldn't have been a whole lot better.
